My Monstera deliciosa finally produced a fenestrated leaf after two years, and I'm honestly surprised how long it took. I kept reading that they just need bright indirect light and patience, but mine seemed to need both in abundance. The new growth is stunning though—those characteristic holes are deep and perfectly formed. Has anyone else had a slow starter with theirs, or was mine just being temperamental?
